Sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy body and mind. It's one reason that we all need quality and not just quantity of sleep. The more comfortable you are at night, the longer you remain in a quality, deep sleep state. And because we spend more than one third of our lives asleep, maybe it's worth investing a little time, effort and money in finding the perfect mattress for you.
However because everyone has individual support and comfort needs, getting the right mattress may be a little trickier than you think. One solution is to use your body weight as an indicator of what may suit you.
A soft mattress is not always best. Poor support can lead to muscle stiffness as well as neck and back pain. Make sure your mattress isn't too soft and doesn't contain bumps, valleys, or depressions.
On the other hand, a hard mattress isn't great, either. A mattress that is too hard can put pressure on the shoulders and hips. The ideal surface is gently supportive and firm. The mattress should mold to your body while supporting
it.
Keep in mind that mattresses don't last forever. Gradually, over time, they lose their firmness and support. The average life of a mattress is 10 years, although most people keep them much longer. Once your mattress has developed lumps and sags, it is definitely time to replace it.
